Original Airdate: Dec. 12, 1954 (Starring Karl Weber w/Bill Griffis)
A drunken cowboy saloon-busking for dimes is definitely no chip-off-the-old-block. His late father was a formidable character in the territory - a renowned and respected guide. Willie is a loser who, nevertheless, attempts a desperate last-chance land-grab scheme that ends up getting himself killed.
"The gun-toting frontier doctor who roamed the length and breadth of the old Indian territory, friend and physician to white man and Indian alike, the symbol of justice and mercy in the lawless west of the 1870s. This legendary figure was known to all as Dr. Six-Gun."
Karl Weber starred as Dr. Ray Matson, the gun-carrying, wandering doctor known far and wide as Dr. Six-Gun. Dr. Six-Gun's story was told through the doctor's perpetually inebriated companion, Pablo, played by Bill Griffis. The show unfortunately had a short run for just one season beginning in 1954.
Dr. Six-Gun was based in a fictional western town called Frenchman's Ford in the 1870s, but he traveled the entire Indian Territory helping everyone from white settlers to Indian braves. Along with sidekick Pablo, the show also included a gypsy with a pet raven. Dr. Matson helped people where he could whether it was with medicine, a friendly ear, or a gun!
This is a rare recording of only 27 shows believed extant.
